Dexus Chief Executive Officer, Darren Steinberg said: “Over the past decade, Dexus has continued to grow and evolve. This year we added circa $18 billion to funds under management following the AMP transaction, (including $10.9 billion of infrastructure). This transaction has positioned Dexus as a leading Australasian real asset manager of scale with $61 billion of funds under management and new capabilities in infrastructure.

“Operating in an uncertain economic environment remains challenging. In this environment we have continued to diversify our capital sources, and grow and diversify our funds management business, while we re-weight the Dexus portfolio. We have announced $1.8 billion of balance sheet divestments since the FY22 result, maintaining a strong balance sheet and enabling us to recycle capital into higher returning opportunities.”
